"Puzzle Fighter features an outstanding roster of legendary
characters and stages from popular Capcom franchises. Fan-favorites such

and more come to life with VO and cinematic special moves.

characters can be chosen to further enhance the abilities of the main
character. Simple to learn but deep in strategy, this highly addictive
puzzle game has players strategically building up gems and destroying
them to unleash epic combos that can knock out their opponent. Thrilling
real-time versus battles, rewarding single player options and an array
of content to unlock await in this ultimate puzzle fight!"

Puzzle Fighter will make its playable debut at PAX this weekend. Head to Capcom Unity for more details!

Same here. And will probably get this just because X is in it... just like any other game where he's featured.... if anything, at least capcom has been giving X some presence over classic MM which... is something????

Also just saying I'm very disappointed with the 3DS library as a 2D action platformer fan, games like Kirby don't cut it for me, Yoshi's alright but I wasn't really into Gunvolt at all, Mighty Gunvolt was a throwaway promo demo type game and Burst I think runs better on the Switch for no good reason but is I guess in the end the only really good new game on the 3DS for me.

Metroid Samus Returns will most likely be the first really good game up my alley, but even that is a remake and not really a truly new unique game.

We don't need to talk about Vita we all know what state it's in. Don't even get me started on the lack of N3DS utilization, which is also why I hate micro console hardware updates, it forces companies to develop for the inferior version because they are not committed to the newer smaller install base, and the more they ignore that install base the less it grows and gives no incentive for the previous larger install base to trickle in and upgrade.

I've heard goo things about Blaster Master Zero, maybe I should try that 1 game (watch me get it and it releases on all these other platforms right after with upgraded content).
